THE onerstate convention held at
Aberdeen on Thursday, the I5th inst,
was a surprise even to its promoters.
The attendance realized the highest
anticipations, and the proceedings
were characterized by deep earnest
ness and great unanimitg. Not
much spread-eagleism was INDUCED
in, but what speech-making there
was, was very good. It would seem
from the spirit Of the memorial to
congress which was drafted that all
past efforts to secure statehood were
to be forgotten and, in the words Of
Denny Hennifin or Major Edwards or
some other notable delegate, new
deal called for. The memorial mere
ly cited the fact that Dakota had a
sufficient population to entitle il to
admission and respectfully asked that
the territory be admitted in due form
as soon as practicable. This move IS
the winning one, and if the spectes
ofthe entombed sea-foam state be but
content to resin peace in theirgraves,
an enabling act viii be passed by con-
gress withinlninety days.

the average buyer by sample knows
nothing unit hc has Tested them.
For instance, you can bry pepper at
10 thirty cents per pound and tea
from fifteen cents up. To the easusl
observer OF the inexperienced buyer
there is no perceptible difference in
the appearance Of these grades, and
when a fellow comes along and offers
tea for thirty cents per pound and
spices for twenty cents per pound
very many imagine ehey are gettigg
the same grades Of goods for which
their grocer asks fifty and thirty cents
respectively. But the grocer would
mot dare sell at any price the quality
ofgoods sold by the peddler; his place
of business is permanently fixed and
he can at any time be brought to ac-
count for duplicity. The peddler has

The local merchant is common fac
tor with the farmer in making the
country prosperous; he spends his
profits at home, adds 70 the wealth of
the country, obliges his customers in
a thousand ways that need not be-
enumerated; and is, in short, one Of
ourselves. Even if local merchants
do make large profits, why not have
a few rich men.in Dakota as well as
in other localities when il costs no

between the two. Towns, counties
and states are nations on a small
scale.s Besides, farmers would think
|is very strange If merchants would
import potatoes, for instance, at as
high Or higher prices than they could
be Dought at home. Possibly, on a
few articles Of fancy goods, something
may be saved by sending away for
them, but it can be safely SET down
as rule that you can buy as cheaply
at home as anywhere; and In the gro
Gerry line we are positive that you can.
There has been considerable talk In
this county about the grinding down
Of the farmers by local dealers, and
unions have been formed to import
various kinds of goods, but If these
very men succeeded II driving every
business man fFOm the country and
compelled the farmers 10 pay all the
taxes because they were the only IN
habitants not a city of town within
the borders Of the state at the same
time when they were paying exactly
as much for what they consumed and
building up cities and towns in other
states -they would be the very first
to howl. This latter is an exaggera-
ted picture, but, just the same, il IS
what many demagouges talk. The
cities and towns Of Brown county, and
Ethc dwellers therein, pay over half
the taxes.

How Often to Grow Glover.

Clover cannot be grown forever. 1t is
an exhaustive crop, taking from the soil in
crop of two tons to the acre $50 pounds
of nitrogen, II pounds of phosphoric acid,
and II pounds of potash, with a large
quantity Of lime, 1t is supposed, and is
commonly taught, that the clover is not
hard upon the soil, and gets Its nutrimept
from some obscure source, or, In point Of
fact, from anywhere but the soil. This,
however, is a great mistake, as the above
figures show, and as farmers who try to
grow clover often find to their sorrow and
disappointment. For the land is "clover
Sick az it is termed, just as it becomes
wheat sick, or corr sick, or potato sick,
that is, it is too weak ana exhausted to
mature a crop. The clover starts well and
the small plants look promising, but in two
weeks one is astonished to find the clover
has disappeared. 1t has died oPstaryatiop
and for want of food. The only safe way
is to get good crop Of clover and pillow in
good stubble, then lime the land and
grow two or three other crops before re-
turning to clover. Forty bushels of lime
per acre will be of great help in growing
clover.

How to Have Good Butter.

Farmers and dairymen are not entirely
responsible for all the bad butter to be
found in our markets. Much that would
otherwise have reached the consumer in fair
condition, says the Prairie Farmer, is ruined
in the grocers' hands by being stored in
badly ventilated cellars and other places,
with decayed vegetables, kerosene, DC.
The discriminating taste of the general
public is also great hiDdrance to improve
ment in the manufacture of butter. Some
there are who must have really good but
ter, and are willing, if need be, to pay a
high price for it; but it has been rare for
an ordinary farmer to meet with such Gus
toners as these.
The general run of the public do not
know high class from inferior butter, I'M
less the butter is very bad. The story is
well known of the clever grocer who, when
he got in firkin of butter, used to saw it
in half and liable one half twenty cents and
the other twenty-five cents; customers
tasted and looked knowing, and generally
came to the conclusion that for the sake of
five cents they had better take the best
and five frkins went off at twenty-five
cents a pound for every one that was sold
at twenty cents. The fact is, there has
been such a quantity of inferior butter
| forced on the market that people have got
used to it. The most that can be said is
that some is less bad than others. Few
know the delicate aroma and nutty flavor
of the best sweet cream butter.
The great majority Of consumers are con-
tent if they get butter devoid of strong
taste and smell, hence the opening for but
terine, which is free from bad odor and
has no unpleasant taste or rather very little
taste of any kind. But the remedy lies
largely in the hands of the butter producer.
In the first place every effort should be
made to manufacture good article, and
market it in attractive shape. Secondly,
those who can and do make good butter
should seek market where such products
are appreciated. If the local dealer pays
one price for all butter, regardless Of quality
the butter-maker should transfer his bust
ness to some dealer more nearly abreast
with the times. The "one-price" dealer
will thus only get the inferior article, and
he will soon change his policy. When the
practice of paying for butter according tt
quality becomes general, but little bad
butter will be produced.

Fed to Death.

Director Z. Lewis Sturtevant of the
New York State Experiment Station, re-
porting as to the death of cows by overfeed-
ing-instead of from poisoning, as was
suspected by the inquirer-recalls an item
of personal experience which conveys
wholesale warning to beginners on the
farm: "The constitutional character of
cows differ greatly, and the practice Of
feeding which may be injudicious for the
average COW may be apparently not pro,
ductive of harm when applied to an animal
of strong digestive powers. Thus in my
own herd, in which careful record was
kept of the amount and character OF the
food for a series of years, it was found that
while some COWS could be fed eight quarts
daily of cottonseed meal for long period
without apparent injury therefrom, yet the
average feeding of this material could not
be in excess of two quarts daily with other
food, without the appearance in some AMI
mails of i'll results, and the feeding of four
quarts daily to the herd resulted in the
death of two animals with the symptoms
as described by our correspondent. Re
fusal to eat, standing with heads up and
somewhat wild appearance. This lasted
for twelve hours and then the animals
dropped as if in spasm, and from that
time until their death the pains were Of
the most violent kind, struggling and
throwing their heads backward. The
feeding of grain or of highly heterogeneous
food is Always dangerous when carried to
excess. Thus we all know that if COW
gets loose in the night and obtains access
to the grain bin injurious effects are very
likely 10 follow, and we never think Of
calling the meal poisonous in these cases
In like manner the overlooking Of cotton
seed meal, one of the most valuable foods
for the dairyman to use (not to abuse), is
apt to be followed by injury"
